Yeah 6 is turn based and it's the pinnacle of Final Fantasy.
So good.

6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and Tactics are all worth your time - but have a look at a wiki or somethnig to see if you like the playstyle/world before you commit - I hate playing the beginnings of dozens of games only to find the world isn't interesting to me.



The best burger I ever had was in Portsmouth at a wedding where they served BBQ. Locally slaughtered and prepared etc. This burger was better than the best steak I've ever had and I've had some pretty damn good steak.

...I wish I knew the farm it came from because I'd probably mo(ooo)ve there.

[zomgbbqftw]

I'll take that into consideration. I got recommended FF7, 8, 9 and even 13 but not 6. Is it still turn-based?

6 is awesome dude. Best FF. Better than 7 for sure. XIII is an abomination though, if you're playing it, just stop. It's a huge steaming turd and will put you off a great franchise. Wait for Versus, if it ever comes out.

I've not got the biggest love for FFXIII as a game, because while it's by far the most streamlined FF game (in a good way), it's also extremely linear and repetitive. I am going to finish it, though, because I'm too invested in the story to not find out what happens to the characters.

Yes, I am aware of what I just said. I regret nothing.

Yes, also my favourite of the series.

Oh word? must try that. You ever tried the Half Pounder Salt Beef Bagel at Bagel Mania on Sauchiehall street? amaaaaazing!

Not much of a bagel fan, much prefer a roll.

Nothing of note, and yes, you will regret it.

My entire knowledge of JRPGs comes from Theatrhythm and Dragon Quest IX, both of which I enjoyed.

I don't play many western RPGs either. I can't get into Mass Effect despite trying several times and having a love of space opera stuff. I miss the old D&D games, it's a real pity that they have a system made for video games in 4th Edition and Atari of all people have the license. I am definitely going to try The Witcher 2, I liked the books (at least the ones that were translated here).

Mass Effect took a while to sink in with me. I got it at launch, played up until you become a Spectre and thought "ehhh". The chilled out music putting me to sleep several times didn't help. It wasn't until about a month before ME2 came out that I decided to try again.

If you really like the setting and space operas in general then I say plough through the first couple of hours and it gets much more interesting and compelling. If you're still finding it slow by the time you're able to cruise around in the Normandy, then it probably isn't for you.

To continue this burger discussion, where do people think the best burger place in London is? Maybe a low-cost and a high-cost answer?

I'm going to Byron tonight in Canary Wharf or Westfield so I'll report back later. Some guys at work have been raving about it for ages.

rolls are also good. One of the main factors of a good burger/sandwich in my opinion. Hate a burger that falls apart the second you lift it up for a bite.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who got Theatrhythm despite having very little knowledge of the FF series.

There is no real post that triggers it from what I remember, it just unfolds over a series of pages where the OP's lies just become more and more outrageous.

Ahh OK - I doubt they'll totally sell out this week. Though they're low on saturday tickets, I think

What would the day of choice be. Last time I went on a Sunday and had free tshirts literally thrown at me because they want to be shot of them.

At the same time I can't really think of many games I'm interested in trying. The WiiU won't be there right?

Thursday will be by far the quietest day
I can't imagine getting swag will be hard on any day

Meetups are easier for me on Thursday, Friday and Sunday in that order :)

I went on Saturday last year and got no swag :(. Going on Saturday again this year so guess I won't see you!

I'm there on Saturday too, but I'm with friends - will still make the effort if that's the only day some people are going!

You just gotta ask for swag sometimes. Especially when you're queueing or just sitting down to play a game, just grab one of the people and ask if they have any shirts or anything.

Last 30 mins on Sunday last year I was just basically running around asking if anyone had shirts left. Got a few SR3 shirts, a Mass Effect 3 one and another one I can't remember.

SO. MANY. SHIRTS :D

[shorty_symd]

Currently listening to some Save Ferris. Not exactly sure why.

[BGBW]

I suppose I could try Friday since I have those days off.

To be fair I don't exactly need more tshirts. They just get used as PJs anywho.

Byron = fucking awesome. Best burger in London. For sure. Oh my god I can't wait to go back, but I know if I go too often I will turn into a lard arse so I have to cut something out, I'm thinking one of Wahaca or Nandos, help me decide GAF, what makes way for Byron!?

Wahaca because I havent heard of it. I have heard of Nandos, and Nandos is awesome.

Fuck Nandos off, it's just overpriced chicken. Gotta keep Wahaca, I love that place, awesome mexican food.

[zomgbbqftw]

Yeah, but I do love chicken. I was actually going to suggest meeting for dinner at Wahaca on Dean Street for the London-GAF meetup, but I'm not sure they could seat that many people, at least not without a long-ish wait.

Now I'm not even sure I'll make the meetup, I might be flying on Saturday instead of Monday. D:

[SteveWD40]

Is Dean St the Covent Garden one? I loved it there when me and the mrs went, the pork tacos were heavenly.

I too doubt there seating capacity and you can't book, more than 6 would probably mean a hell of a wait.

No, that's Chandos Place, it's next to the Nandos. This is the Soho one, it's much bigger.

Yeah not really ideal place for a mass meet up.

Aww will be a shame if you can't come man

[Zaph]

Next time you're in Soho, try Burger and Lobster - definitely gives Byron a run for their money.

It's a flat £20 menu too - burger or lobster roll with fries and salad.

Wait time can get a bit silly during peak hours though.

[zomgbbqftw]

Yeah not really ideal place for a mass meet up. Aww will be a shame if you can't come man

Yeah it sucks. Work said we would be flying to Tokyo on Monday which is why I said I could make the 15th, but now they have said we are flying on Saturday. D:
